You can post pictures directly from your computer files. When you transferred the pictures from your camera, did they go into the "my pictures" file in your computer? When you want to post a picture on the forum, and you click, "choose file", you should be taken to your pictures to select the one you want.

Upload to photobucket
http://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us ... hotobucket" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Then click on the photo in photobucket and grab the link
http://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us ... ing-Images" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Then paste this code in your post:
[img]"link%20to%20photbucket"[/img]
Once you get it, it's simple

Find you picture in PhotBucket. Under the picture there are 2 boxes. left click on the left box- the right box turns blue. That's your URL. Right click on the blue and select copy from the drop down menu. Close or minimize the bucket.
In your post, right click in the subject area and select paste. The URL is now in your post. Select preview to see if you got it. If so, submit the post. It's real simple after you do it s few times.

I resize my images to 1024x768 or smaller before uploading to photobucket.
The images also need to be in a format that photo bucket accepts -- I use jpeg.
But others may have different preferences.

Lovely looking collection there Dryberg.....do I spy a 500 there just out of shot?
The choose a file button is below the panel you type your forum post into....just below the submit tag.
TBH I never use photo bucket, or any other picture storage system....all my pics are in the "my pictures" file on my laptop. I upload them from the memory card from my camera, by simply putting the card in the slot on the front of the laptop, and directly uploading.....very simple.

Not sure what you are asking - you can easily add any photo from your computer directly to here if you want to. There is no need for any other hosting service unless you want to a) have the photo in a location where you can share it to other sites easily, or b) because you wish to retain control of the photo or image. All you do is just scroll down below the 'post' area where you enter text and you will see something like the photo below. Then, just click on 'Browse', select the image file you want to add. and then click 'Add the file'. This is what most people miss, as if you don't click 'Add the file' it doesn't - it is quite literal ! The text box where you do the writing is just that - a text box - so you won't see the file you've attached unless you select 'Preview'. That shows you your post as others will see it.
Good luck !

Hi Guys, thanks for your reply, guess what - now i did find the button
And yes well discovered a T500 standing in the back ground. Scuffy but suitable of a restoration. I have many project bikes - too many, but it is a dicease- listed: 3 x RD400 1 x GT750 2 X GT550 1 X GT380 1 x T500 1 x RG250 Gamma 1 x RD350 LC 1 x RD350 ypvs. all Projects. And then the two bikes in the Pictures and a nice Aztec gold GT380.
And i want to restore all of them, and every time i deside to do one, i want to do another the next day.... Sounds familiar?
